Yeah, there is a word for it...it means the air doesn't have enough humidity and moisture leaks from the leaves....can't remember the word...dissication?

Cheers,

I just received this question from my son. Any ideas? 
I’ve got a small philodendron here in the office, which Pam started for me over a year ago. Amazingly enough, I haven’t killed it, and it seems to be doing pretty well in an office with little natural light. But, I’ve noticed that sometimes when I water it, the leaves start “sweating” -  a drop of water appears on one or two leaves. It’s the weirdest thing. I’ve not heard of a plant doing that. Am I watering it too much?
